Desperate Times Songtext

von Magnum

When you find yourself
In a field of dreams
But you're all played out
And you can't believe
When you're all alone
In the darkest night
And the wind blows hard
You don't want to fight

So you ask yourself
Now you've come this far
'Cause you can't look back
Don't know where you are
But you carry on
In this world of pain
Knowing very well
It's a tearful game

The beginning to the end
What we borrow, what we lend

We contemplate the past
We all remember well
It's disappearing fast
But only time will tell
Ask yourself anyway
You can't lose, come what may
Now desperate times have come
They fall on everyone

When you've lost your way
In the pouring rain
And you can't see how
You'll get back again
When there's no one there
When you switch the light
So you settle down
To the longest night

Now the day goes by
But the time goes slow
And this emptiness
It won't let you go
But you can't give up
When the cold wind blows
'Cause it's not in vain
Everyone should know

The beginning to the end
What we borrow, what we lend

We contemplate the past
We all remember well
It's disappearing fast
But only time will tell
Ask yourself anyway
You can't lose, come what may
Now desperate times have come
They fall on everyone

You just keep waiting
Nowhere to hide
Now how does it feel
Here tonight?

Ask yourself anyway
You can't lose, come what may

We contemplate the past
We all remember well
It's disappearing fast
But only time will tell
We contemplate the past
We all remember well
Now desperate times have come
They fall on everyone

Everyone
Everyone
Everyone
